How Does Betfair Compare With Other Online Bookmakers?

June 26, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Betfair is amongst the main internet wagering exchanges on earth, with well over 3 million members and a turnover of roughly £200 million per month. Unlike traditional bookmakers, online wagering exchanges offer users the opportunity to bet against each other, as opposed to against the house. Because of this, users are often able to get higher odds than they would do at a traditional bookie.

Members who open a new account are entitled to obtain the Betfair free bet promotion. Under the terms of this offer, if a new customer is unlucky and manages to lose money in their first 30 days, their money will be returned. However, the customer can keep any money that they win. This risk free package means that learning to use the exchange will never carry any financial risk.

The standard Betfair free bet package is £25. However, an increased £30 Betfair free bet is available, as long as you know where to look.

Betfair users are also able to place a lay bet, which is a bet that something won’t happen. Although this may be something new to many members, these bets mean that in effect the user can behave just like a sportsbook. You cannot place lay bets anywhere other than at betting exchanges. Traditional sportsbooks only take back bets,

Betfair has a well designed and easy to understand website that is attractive to both new and existing clients. The site has simple navigation controls which can be learned easily. On the left hand side of each page, the main sport categories are listed. The sports page also displays the most popular sports with live odds down the centre of the page.

The live in-play wagering box is amongst the best features of the Betfair website. It is easy to identify because it is highlighted in a different color to the rest of the screen. This box shows events that are happening live around the world. One click on the shown event will take the user to a page that details the various markets for that particular event.

Members can also access a live video service which adds to the in-play wagering service. A number of live events are available for clients to watch and bet on at the same time.

Betfair’s account control means that members will never spend more than they can afford. There is a facility for them to set daily spending limits in their account configuration settings.

Betfair also displays clear information at the base of each and every screen that relate to terms and conditions. It’s important that these messages are projected clearly so the customer is always totally mindful of the rules of every particular gaming market.

Last but not least, customer care is an area which is essential to both new and experienced clients. Detailed information relating to responsible gambling, the company itself, and general help topics can all be reached easily via tabs on the internet site. There is also contact information so punters can physically talk to various sections of the internet site to receive any help or support they’ll need.
